Other Thoughts: * When I bought this card it was the best. I thought I'd never need more than 1gb of video memory. The problem is when I upgraded to a Korean special 27" Monitor and required 2560x1440. I went from being able to play everything at full quality to say medium to high quality. I was never ever really to push anti-aliasing past 2x before or after.* I've since upgraded to a 4gb card and push 2.4gb of video memory at the max on anything. It's just the nature of it.* I swapped the cooler on the card with an aftermarket cooler. It was a bad idea because it didn't fit right, but in the end it dropped the temps about 30 degrees and made the card significantly quieter.* The card now runs my home Media Center which is 10x overkill for that. I have no regrets though I got my moneys worth and it's a good card.

Cons: Very long, it barely fits into my tower. It's also a bit on the thick side, if I want to run SLI the second card will just barely clear it.

Other Thoughts: I've had this just over a year and it will run most games at the highest graphics settings. The ones it won't still run at very high settings. I currently don't need to run SLI but might in the future. Anyone thinking about SLI should take the thickness into account as well as keeping their system adequately cooled.

Rating: 5/5

Pros: This card has to this point served its purpose. It is out for repair at the moment. Which I might add is a fantastic and easy process to go through. It's getting repaired because it over heated when my liquid system failed in a very poorly ventilated case. The case was storing heat like crazy and I was playing battlefield 3 a lot. So as to be expected, the card crashed.

Cons: It's not a 2gb card and if you are playing battlefield you WILL NOT be able to max the graphics because of this. If you can match the price of this one to a 2gb one, do it.

Rating: 5/5Works fine if you don't feel like dumping a week's earnings on just a videocard

Pros: Fantastic deal for the price, came factory overclocked (courtesy of EVGA), works well if you're not concerned about running games at unreasonable settings on too many monitors, CUDA

Cons: The included poster could have been nicer i.e., a girl instead of a flaming skull

Other Thoughts: Included items could have been better, but not that big a deal. Many mid-level videocards such as this Nvidia 560 Ti come with games; this particular EVGA card just came with adapters. The card works well for what I use it for though, which is light games i.e., Mass Effect 3 on 1 monitor, and the occasional CUDA on Sony Vegas for video rendering. If you're looking to dump a lot of money on videocards, look elsewhere; otherwise, if you want a good videocard for a reasonably priced machine, pick this up or its descendent, the 660.

Rating: 1/5Loud, Hot, and Poor

Cons: As I mentioned in an earlier review, that this card is very loud. I got it because of the dual fans on the cooler, but the cards still run unbelievably hot despite the dual fans. But, even if it ran cool and quiet, this card just doesn't have the lush 3D rendering I was receiving from my GTX 260's. The 260 is 448-bit, these are only 256-bit. Now, I know, the GDDR5 memory is faster, and is supposed to compensate for the reduced bandwidth, blah blah blah. Forget that, my eyes can see the difference. These cards can't compare with the 448-bit GDDR3 GTX 260's fantastic quality. If the GTX 260 had more memory and a full-size HDMI, I would never have sold them.The Arctic Accelero Xtreme GTX PLUS cooler would be a solution for the noise and temps, but then why buy this card? You'll need to spend about $100 in coolers to get it up to standards. The 570 HD runs cool, quiet, and blows this card away.

Other Thoughts: I did the "EVGA Step-Up", and traded these in for 2 GTX 570 HD's, at a respectable 320-bit bandwidth. I'm SOOOOOO glad I did. However, I had to pay a premium price for the 570's by doing it that way.I strongly recommend that prospective buyers choose the 570 Ti HD

Manufacturer Response:

Hello,

I am sorry to hear your card was running hot but glad we were able to assist you with a step-up. If you have any other issues please contact our 24/7 technical support (888)-881-3842

Rating: 5/5great card for a first build

Pros: tgis is my first build and this is a great card it's runs just about every thing a Max settings in bf3 I'm getting about 75fps on ultra the only game it has a little trouble with so far is the witcher 2 so I run it at just below the highest settings

Cons: can get a little loud but that's only when the fan is going between 80 and 100% most of the time i don't even notice it though

Other Thoughts: this card also stays pretty cool I'm while games it stays be twenty like 60c and 70c
